Nox Aurumque (a different version of Tron and Yori; somewhat reminiscent of the former but actually inspired by Mr. C.A. Sylvestri, whose text written for Eric Whitacre's music finally gave me the catalyst to write on a subject I'd wanted to address for a long time): http://tron-sector.com/forums/default.aspx?a=top&id=441756

Flynn sacrificed himself - for Sam and for the world. It was a heroic sacrifice to me, because it's not that Flynn wanted to die; he wanted to live more now than he had since Clu took over, I think. But Clu was too great a threat and this is the way Flynn saw to stop him. Sam is stronger, solider, at the end. Not flighty or childish. He's taking the company - at eight o'clock. That's less than a couple hours away. To me, it's like things have been so bad for so long, and now they are going to be better (and Flynn is responsible for that). To me, the end is a very strong beginning. So sequel-set-up. But not to the degree that it feels unfinished or annoying. It works even if there were never to be another movie, IMO. And you know sunrise, as a theme or symbol, works for the "will be better" thing too, end of darkness and all that.

I think you're thinking of J. I totally get a "good" vibe from it, and I like that. TBH with you, I'd be kind of glad if it ended there. You hope things will get better, two of our favorite characters are history but in a heroic way, etc. Frankly, I could easily see Sam going on and making all the same mistakes Flynn did-- I think he's right when he tells Alan he's not ready to run a Fortune-500 company. Flynn wasn't either, if T:B is to be believed; he got in way over his head. The dude was a programmer and gamer, not a businessman. Sam's the same way. It could work if Sam merely takes his majority shareholder status and starts putting people into place on the chess board without taking over himself. Even poor Alan got tossed into the "businessman" role when it wasn't really his thing-- he just seems to have played the game better than Flynn did.

Tzigone Wrote:I get where you are coming from, but still think the other way is at least as likely. Because if he wasn't that concerned, then why was he at Sam's place in the early morning - he could have waited until normal visiting hours and gotten some sleep. The only way I could really be okay with that logic is if he gave himself "okay I have 24 hours to make a decision" deadline when he got the page and then when the time came, went to Sam's and waited.

But if he WAS that concerned, he wouldn't have waited two days. Like I've said before, if he truly thinks the pager is so important that he needs to sleep with it, then if something happens, he's going to be right on it. He probably shows up at Sam's for two reasons: to get on him about the prank (Sam even accuses him of "the surrogate father thing"), and to get on him about taking over the company while Sam's still on a high/on an emotional roll from the prank. In fact he pretty much says so-- something to the effect of implying that if Sam's going to expend energy, he might as well do so actually doing good for the company. I imagine if you're going to open Sam up about Flynn, your best bet is at some point when something has happened to crack the wall he's probably built in his mind around the subject-- so some time like around prank time, on the anniversary of Flynn's disappearance, whatever. Alan may well have waited because he was well aware Sam was going to pull something that night and he figured he might as well ride that wave while Sam's still giddy about the whole thing and before he's had a chance to wind down and to shut down again.

Did you watch the longer IGN interview? He's all "Publicly, ENCOM and I have acknowledged the fact that he's gone." That "publicly" is so suspicious. And then he follows it up with "as I friend, I hope every day that he comes back to us alive and well." I only saw it a few days ago so it didn't help form my opinion, but it does reinforce it. He's very emotional even talking about it, though you could say the public showing of private feeling contributes to that.

Also, Sam, to me, seemed to think Alan thought it possible that Flynn was alive. At the end he said Alan was right about everything. While I don't think Sam literally meant "everything," I do feel that if he knew Alan thought Flynn dead, he wouldn't have said it that way. The point is that Alan was right where Sam was wrong: Flynn neither left him (and went to Costa Rica) nor was dead.

I guess Alan's actions, motivations, etc. just make so much more sense to me if he thought it possible Flynn was still around. I really don't think sending Sam on a wild goose chase to his father's old arcade in the hope that it'll somehow make him want to do what Alan wants to do or address his emotional issues makes any sense. There's no reason at all it would work. He'd show up, say "everything is as it always has been - I'll just be as I always have been."

And if there's something you'd like to see done in a Tron fic, feel free to ask. My big "no nos" are incest (and I tend to think of the Programs as the children of their creators) and anything to do with MPreg, but most anything else is an option. My specialty is gen fic and "original flavor" (meaning stuff that tries to look like Disney would actually put it out). where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

It's an entire universe in there, one we created, but it's beyond us now. Really. It's outgrown us. You know, every time you shut off your computer...do you know what you're doing? Have you ever reformatted a hard drive? Deleted old software? Destroyed an entire universe?"
